This is the only kind of mouse I have used since college and have only needed to replace it once. That's almost ten years now. So easy to use with a laptop on a couch, you never have to worry about find something to set it on! Would only be better if it were wireless! That said, the cord is plenty long. Highly recommend it.

Bought this for our home office, after years of using a mouse that slides across a surface, this one was a little awkward. BUT once you get the hang of it it is amazing!!! You can use it anywhere without having to worry about having a smooth surface big enough to move the mouse around... Love it!
